If you really want to make money from home, you really need to visit oDesk!! I have been SO busy with my jobs I have gotten through oDesk that I haven't had enough time to write on my blogs.
ODesk is the best opportunity for making money from home that I have found, and I've been looking for years. The best part is that oDesk doesn't charge you, the provider, for searching for work! All fees are charged to the buyer, which in my opinion, is how it should be. Let's face it, if we are looking for work, we may not have the money to pay exorbitant fees!!
As with any freelance website, with oDesk, making money from home carries a lot of competition. But with a little perseverance, you can be making money from home like you've always dreamed!
Unless you have a nice, fat portfolio available to list on oDesk (which I did NOT have) you will be competing against thousands of other freelancers with experience to back their claims up. How do you make money from home with these odds?
There are a couple of ways to ensure you make money from home working with oDesk. First, you have to realize that in order to prove yourself without an extensive portfolio, you will have to start out small. My first few jobs at oDesk, I only made $1.00 an hour. Yeah, that's not a typo, that's really all I charged!
Why did I charge so little (especially since I obviously wanted to make money from home, not lose it!)? I didn't have a portfolio, I didn't have references. So I had to start at the bottom, and on oDesk, you are competing with freelancers from all over the world, all trying to make money from home. So, I started my hourly rate at $1/hour. I also applied for any job I could find that I was qualified for. After 2 months, I had my rate up to $8 an hour, and buyers were inviting ME to apply for their jobs.
Currently, I am up to $10/hour, and I have been favorited by many providers. I have a high feedback score, which is why I can be more selective about the jobs I accept. So, my advice to you is to start off cheap...and don't be too selective about the jobs you take.
Once you have some successful jobs completed, with some excellent feedback, you will be able to raise your prices, and therefore make more money from home!
Maybe I'm putting this out of order...LOL But, you have to figure out what kind of job you want to do to make money from home! There are many different categories of jobs available on oDesk:
And, of course, each of these categories has multiple sub-categories...you only need to choose which categories you want to work in to make money from home!
Do you have experiences with oDesk you would like to share? If so, I would love to hear them!!
This is part 5 in the Companies that Hire Work at Home Employees Series. Please check out earlier articles:
LiveOps offers work at home opportunities in the following areas:
If you have any of the above skills, then a work at home position with LiveOps might be right for you. It is important to note that if you get a work at home job with LiveOps, you are considered an independent contractor, or freelancer. They do not count their work at home workers as employees.
What does this mean for you? Basically, other than getting paid, a work at home position with LiveOps does not have any benefits. LiveOps work at home people do not get health insurance, 401k coverage or vacation time.
If you are a licensed insurance agent, you should definitely check out a work at home position with LiveOps. A work at home licensed insurance agent with LiveOps takes inbound sales calls. There are several reasons a licensed insurance agent should consider a work at home position with LiveOps:
How much you make as a work at home freelancer for LiveOps depends...some of LiveOps' clients pay 0.25 per minute of phone talk time, others pay a base rate plus a commission, and still others pay straight commission.
If you choose to work at home for LiveOps, you are a freelancer; you will be responsible for your own invoicing, taxes, insurance, and the quality you choose to present to your clients. As in any business venture, the more you put into your work, the more you will make.
Well, first of all to work at home for LiveOps, you must be at least 18 years old. You must also take at least one call every 42 days to retain your Independent Contractor status. You can work at home with LiveOps if you live within the 48 contiguous states.
When you apply to work at home with LiveOps, LiveOps will perform a credit and background check, so you must be able to pass both of those.
Obviously, if you want to work at home with LiveOps, you have to have a computer, and the Internet. But specifically, what does LiveOps require their work at home freelancers to have?
To work at home with LiveOps, you must also have a landline phone line separate from your home phone, and a corded headset. They support standard corded telephone service, as well as digital phone service offered by AT&T UVerse, Verizon FIOS and ComCast Digital Voice. All extra services, such as voicemail and call waiting, must not be on the phone line.
It is simple to apply for a work at home position as a freelancer with LiveOps.
First, you fill out their basic application. This includes some skill tests and a voice audition.
Next, LiveOps will review your work at home application. If your skills match those of LiveOps' current clients, you may be extended an invitation.
If you receive an invitation, you will be given some paperwork to fill out. LiveOps also performs credit and background checks on all work at home applicants. They will run these checks now.
After you send your paperwork to LiveOps, and they verify your credit and background checks, you will be added to the LiveOps Home business platform.
You will then need to complete online certifications before beginning work.
One downside with applying for work at home positions with LiveOps is that they do charge $50 for the background and credit check. Another is that you do not get paid during your certification times.
But, I encourage you to check out the work at home opportunity offered by LiveOps for yourself.
Do you, or have you in the past, held a work at home position with LiveOps? Or perhaps you have applied for a work at home position with LiveOps? Leave a comment and let me know your experiences! Thanks for reading!
Part 3 of my series of companies that hire work at home employees!
If you're an experienced salesperson looking to work at home, or telecommute, Extended Presence may be the choice for you. Extended Presence offers sales positions; you can choose part time, full time, or on a contractual basis.
Extended Presence offers some great work at home opportunities. But it's not for everyone...if you're not a good salesperson, then this probably isn't for you. This company definitely isn't for me, because no matter how many times I've attempted the sales profession, I just can't do it!
A full time work at home position with Extended Presence consists of a sales position either directly with Extended Presence, or placed with one of their many US clients. Lead generation assistance is provided for work at home sales agents. This is done to ensure your success in your work at home position with Extended Presence!
Similar to the full time position Extended Presence offers, their part time position offers a work at home opportunity that offers competitive compensation, and a great income opportunity.
Experienced salespersons can also work for Extended Presence in a contracting compacity. This option perhaps offers the most advantages; work at home independent contractors earn base pay plus commissions, and get the benefits of Extended Presence's many connections within the sales community. An independent contracting position can also lead to a permanent position with an Extended Presence client! And, don't forget the tax benefits you may be eligible for as a self-employed contractor!
At the time of this posting, Extended Presence has three work at home positions available:
For qualifications on each of these positions, please visit the website.
OK, we all know that there are home business opportunities available to stay at home parents. I've described some here on my blog. But what if you don't want to start your own business (or just don't have the investment funds)?
Today's technology makes it very simple for companies to hire people to work straight from home. All you need (in most cases) is a computer, high speed internet, and a phone...maybe a fax machine. So how do you find these telecommuter job postings??
Well, that's what I decided to look for today. I have found 6 different websites that offer free telecommuting job postings. So if you're looking to telecommute, whether to save gas, be home with your kids, or whatever, you've come to the right place!
When I first started my search for telecommuter job postings, I got really frustrated. Have any of you tried looking, only to come up with a bunch of websites that SAID they list telecommuting jobs...then you go to their website, and it's a list of OTHER websites that claim to offer telecommuting jobs. Then, as you wade through that list, most of those are websites with lists of websites...and so on, and so on...
Yep, I had that problem too...so, I finally came up with a good list of 6 websites that offer actual telecommuter job postings for FREE.
None of these sites charge you any money to search their telecommuter job postings. They are completely FREE!! OK, here we go with the actual list:
Hopefully, this information has helped you, and you will be closer to finding a telecommuting job. I found a few that I just may apply for, haven't decided yet! I'll let y'all know.
In the meantime, please let me know if this information has helped you, or if I missed something, or if you find a job by searching on one of the sites I've told you about! I look forward to hearing from some of you!
